Secuencia didáctica basada en arcgis para el mejoramiento de habilidades de pensamiento espacial en estudiantes de ingeniería forestal

Abstract

Report of a graduate work that seeks to establish the incidence of a didactic sequence based on active thinking, for the improvement of spatial thinking skills in forestry engineering students. In the technological component, the ArcGis software package was used; the didactic/pedagogical component consisted of the design and implementation of a didactic sequence that incorporated Lee's (2005) inventory of spatial skills (Spatial Thinking), to demonstrate cognitive gains in spatial skills in forestry engineering students. The results show that the implemented didactic sequence significantly improved their abilities and skills applied to the proposed disciplinary approach; the hypothesis test of no differences is refuted, from which it is inferred that the group of students to whom the inventory was applied registers an advance in learning.
